Ahh that brings back memories... The Paul Grey Hawk 45 was my introduction into jet modelling all those years ago...about 1992 I think......the sound of my OPS 45 and Thorjet fan whining away until the silicone tuned pipe joiner melted......trying to find the starting belt in the bushes after it pinged off.. things moved on a bit since then. You got some funny looks at the flying field at that time when you turned up with a jet in those days... Theres not the same sense of acheivement about it now... The video of the build has to be one of the most boring things I've ever seen though!

There are some old farts still there who were into jets in the good old ducted fan days in the UK......when Top Gun was a great British jet event, Paul Gray was bashing out kits and tuned pipes by the dozen, Dick Spreadbury was doing well, stuff, Jim Fox was the worlds biggest RC jet manufacturer (and worlds smallest pilot), Dave Gladwin was merely a boy and the best pilot on the scene was Mark Leavesley....... and none of us has grey hair!

Good days indeed


Cheers
